Step 1

Trim the bottom end off of Brussel sprouts and slice them in half. For extra large ones, quarter them.

Step 2

Rinse and soak them in cold water for 10 minutes. This will help the sprouts taste more tender in the center. Make sure you drain and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Preheat your air fryer at 400F for 5 minutes. In the meantime, toss the sprouts with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and maple syrup in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Add the sprouts to the fryer basket and spread them out to an even layer. Some overlap is okay. Air fryer for 10 minutes. Toss the basket after 5 minutes to ensure evenly cooking on all sides.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, make the maple lemon sauce.

Step 6

Transfer the brussels sprouts to a serving bowl and toss with the maple lemon sauce. Taste and adjust with more salt, if needed. Serve warm.
